Jewish boxer Yuri Foreman defending his title against Cotto tonight :)

I'm hoping he wins, Yuri Foreman is a observant Jewish man. Undefeated too.

He is also to become a Rabbi one day.  This is a good thing, Chaim made a point about boxing being bad for a person as a career because they end up with mush brains.  As much as I enjoy there being a great Jewish boxer out there doing his stuff, I don't want Yuri to have the mush brains.  I do hope he trashes Cotto tonight though!  May Yuri be surrounded by the wings of the Shekhinah on all sides!

Some of the best boxers in the world were Jewish though, theres not too many today. I have yet to see one in MMA.

Cotto won, Foreman injured his leg but he stuck in it throughout the injury. Still Foreman is tough as hell for continuing to fight through the injury. I think Foreman may have torn his ACL, hope he's ok.

Can't win them all.  Maybe this will accelerate his entry into Rabbinical school. 

Perhaps he will one day teach little Jew boys how to defend themselves.

I like his t-shirt, the star of David outline with the lion in it is really cool!

Even though Foreman didn't win, the crowd was cheering like crazy because he continued to want to fight despite his leg giving out on him several times, that alone showed a lot of courage and I believe Foreman won a lot of fans because of that. His opponent also showed respect for him as well, I don't know too many guys who would continue to fight after tearing an ACL like that through 2-3 more rounds.
